Project Awesome

A bold collaboration to offer an entirely new approach to food and drink through social media. Top secret for now, but expect the odd leak or two here.

Everything's coming up roses for Project Awesome

Rosé! Olé!

That was my mission as part of Project Awesome. Some of you may not be familiar with Project Awesome but in a nutshell, The Wineyard & Deli in Morecombe contacted 6 of us bloggers to match their wines with our recipes. While some bloggers got a bit carried away with the whole clandestine operation and posted frequently, I, on the other hand, chose to take the dark horse route (read: didn't have time to get around to blogging about it til now) but I finally cooked up something for this project.

Endgame

_*****THIS IS AN AUTOMATED PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE_*****

If you are reading this, then one of two things has happened.

I have been captured and have been taken back to the 'Centre' for interrogation, processing and reprogramming.

Or I have met a far more sinister end.

This is the price I pay for revealing all about Project Awesome.

However, the truth will out.

The public will hear of what has happened here.

And they will discover my recipe of Pork Tenderloin Stuffed with Apricot, Lemon, Sage and Onion soon enough.

I have made sure of that.

Goodbye.

_*****END OF MESSAGE_*****

Project Awesome is.............

All about colour - Pale yellow with greenish hues. Brilliance and clarity.

All about nose - Intense with aromas of tropical fruits, orange and apricot blossom.

All about mouthfeel - The Chardonnay brings notes of tropical fruit, apricot and peach whereas the Albariño gives it hints of apricot blossom and long citrus finish.

All about finding a perfect pairing, a match, a recipe to compliment and marry up with the flavours of a Raimat Abadia Blanc de Blancs

That's it, I've said too much...................................................

Raspberries

My work here is nearly done... one last task and I return to being a non-descript sleeper.

I should add, for those that were concerned, that no cats were hurt in the making of this project. Fruit however is a different matter...

A Sabbatical Banal Damn Cider

It was only after five minutes on leaving the house that I realised that I was being followed. Whether this was down to my training, some innate sixth sense or the fact it was obvious that my stalker's dog was stuffed and being pulled along on wheels, I couldn't exactly say. But once I knew I was being tailed, I knew they were onto me. And that they knew I was ready to blow the lid on Project Awesome.

Spain contact missing

During the frenzied atmosphere of the World Cup final, we've lost all communications with our contact in Spain, WM. His last known whereabouts are near Barcelona, in the north east of the country. We were expecting information pertinent to Project Awesome imminently, so this development is very serious indeed. We are currently considering bringing in external help from the Clarion agency, working out of London. They are already in contact with WM's representative in Tunbridge Wells, GC.

Ben Hodgkinson's Space

I'm Ben. I'm young, passionate, and enthusiastic about food and drink, and I love reading some of the great blogs that are out there. I help run a food and drink specialist retailer near Morecambe/Lancaster, and LOVE to Tweet with our customers and others in the trade about all the fantastic stuff that's out there to try.
Project Awesome is my latest daftly named attempt to innovate with social media, and rethink the way we food and drink enthusiasts engage with our customers and our audience. A bunch of top-drawer guys and gals who write some of the most highly regarded blogs in the country have somehow been conned into joining in, and seem to think I'm on to something!
We'll all have access to post content to this blog, and use it as a platform for leaking out details about the totally exciting and top-secret Project Awesome as it gets underway. Prepare yourselves world.
